Addressing the gathering, educationist and poet Atiq Ahmed Usmani said that Hakim Ajmal Khan was not just a physician but also a nation-builder, educationist, and a symbol of social awakening. He emphasized that the Unani system of medicine remains relevant today due to its holistic approach, natural remedies, and humane outlook, and that it is our responsibility to pass this legacy on to the younger generation.
The program, organized at the Government District Hospital, Kuchaman City, highlighted the importance of the Unani system, its holistic healing approach, and its positive impact on complex and rare diseases. Doctors and medical staff who have rendered outstanding services were honored during the ceremony.
It is noteworthy that World Unani Day is observed on the birth anniversary of the renowned Unani physician, scholar, and freedom fighter Hakim Ajmal Khan. The Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India, declared 11 February as World Unani Day in 2016. The first official celebration was held in 2017 at the Central Research Institute of Unani Medicine, Hyderabad. Since then, the day has been observed across the country every year.
The ceremony began with floral tributes to the portrait of Hakim Ajmal Khan. Speakers remembered him as “Masih-ul-Mulk” and the “Godfather of the Unani system of medicine,” paying homage to his efforts in advancing the system with a modern scientific outlook.
District Nodal Officer of the Unani Department, Dr. Tanveer Hussain, stated that the purpose of celebrating this day is to pay tribute to Hakim Ajmal Khan’s invaluable contributions and to spread awareness among the public about the preventive and curative aspects of the Unani system.
Unani physician Dr. Asadullah Khan explained that Unani medicine is a holistic healing system based on the balance of body, mind, and nature. He noted that positive outcomes have been observed in several chronic, complex, and even certain rare diseases through Unani treatment. The system works on addressing the root cause of disease and seeks to restore health balance through natural medicines and lifestyle modifications. He added that Unani medicine in India dates back to around the 10th century, but it was revitalized and modernized under the leadership of Hakim Ajmal Khan.
Hakim Ajmal Khan was born on 11 February 1868. He was a distinguished Unani physician, eminent educationist, social reformer, and freedom fighter. He gave new direction to Unani medical education and research. He was among the founders of Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, and the Ayurvedic and Unani Tibbia College, New Delhi.
